The other woman managed to escape from the house and has also gone to hospital for a precautionary check-up.

North Wales fire and rescue service said it was still checking how much damage has been caused by the blaze and an investigation is underway into why it started.

Firefighters were still damping down at about 7am.

The Cartrefi Conwy housing association owns the bungalow.

A Cartrefi Conwy spokesman said: “Our priority at the moment is the tenant and a person we believe to be her close family member who were in the property, and we would like to wish them both a speedy recovery.

“The cause of the fire is being looked into by North Wales Fire and Rescue Service and we will do everything we can to assist them.”

He said staff are working to make the property and surroundings secure.

Cartrefi Conwy is arranging alternative accommodation for their tenant.

The spokesman added: “We will of course do everything we can to support her when she is released from hospital.”

Mayor of Abergele Cllr Sam Rowlands praised the emergency services.

He said: “I hope all is well with these two ladies.”

“I’d also like to praise the fire service for the job they did. They work at all hours of the day and night.”
